+1 Bert and others
<my2cents>
Outside of the opensource world I've seen many non-mainstream groups become
too thinly spread due the many dedicated individuals involved together. I've
seen in first hand in a few different sports, and know of it in a couple of
other examples, such as French left wing political parties.
I dont want to repeat everyone, but I fully agree with SoaS being Fedora,
and other distros a seperate thing for those want to do that.
If distro support was a task for the sweet sugar people there would be less
resources on actual sugar development.
Forgive me, as I tend to have a habit of stating the obvious.

You can call that whatever you want, but please not in public. SoaS
means a very specific distro, not just any Linux+Sugar slapped onto a
USB flash drive.

No, there are no such plans currently.
IMHO we should not water down the meaning of "SoaS".
